Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas

 

Good morning from Centre County Lebanon County! (on the road this weekend)

 

Probably gonna have a black eye. Was mowing the grass since it's still kinda cool out. The mower kicked up a rock and hit me right below my eye. That fooker hurt.

 

Wow! I guess a black eye is better than a missing eye!

 

Ouch. Ever since my one eye went bad I wear safety googles at all times because if my one remaining eye goes bad, I'm screwed.

 

I think I could give up my sense of smell and taste and my hearing is already shot, but losing my eyesight would really suck.

 

Good morning PA.

Air quality alert until noon here in Kent County. Enjoy your weekend.

 

Wow, in a way ur lucky it wasn't an inch higher.

 

X2. Now wearing safety glasses. That was to close for comfort

 

Got the tires of the rims. Taking these over to the powder coat place. Time to change them up. Cheaper to powder them than to buy new wheels. I'm gonna go with a bronze powder.

 

happy almost noon what great things do you have going on this weekend ?

 

OK I have some questions about hauling and how much I can haul in my short bed.
1 how much mulch and top soil do you think I can easily get in the bed?
2 what is the best way to handle bringing home sheet goods like plywood subflooring and drywall?

 

Go to Costco and fight the crowds shopping for the holiday. that's what we did this morning. I'm good at working my way through without pissing anybody off... I think.

 

Questions for the knowledgeable: I got new tires this week, Falken Wildpeak AT3/W. The tire place set the air in them to 40psi and when I ride on the highway they are getting up to about 44psi. The last set I had was at 35 psi. Should I leave them at 40psi or deflate them some?

 

If they're the same size run them at doorjamb pressure.

 

I have a 2013 short bed and I've gotten a "scoop" of soil before thinking it was a cubic yard and she did squat but did fine. I guess the weight depends on the moisture in the soil. As far as hauling drywall and plywood u have those notches in the bed built into the wheel humps , u can put cross boards in there then ur 4x8 sheets will rest on the. Then strap them in.

 

I think ur safe either way. May come down to personal preference. Best ride , mpg. Ur still 10 percent lower than max.

 

I put the same tires on in 265/75-16 on my taco. I run them at 35psi cold all the way around. On exceptionally hot days, the onboard TPMS will show them at 39-40 if I'm doing a lot of driving. I find them to be in a good comfort spot and MPG is nice as well.

 

Best ride, lower? Best mpg, higher?

 

Yea , doesn't sound like u can win. Lol.
